23 and when He had dismissed them, He went up to a hill in private to pray.

28 Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.
And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.
29 And He said, Come.
And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat, walked upon the water to come to Jesus.
30 And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, Lord, save me.
